Curator’s Choice
G. Evelyn Hutchinson:
The “Father”
of American Ecology
| Hutchinson was primarily an aquatic ecologist, focusing particularly on the study of freshwater lakes and ponds. When he came to Yale in 1928 he went looking for suitable local research sites and found Linsley Pond in Branford, Connecticut. He and his students worked and collected there for the rest of his career. Yale researchers, notably Peabody Museum Curator David Skelly, still work there today. |
